* EnsembleDarkhorse: ComicBook/BlueBeetle, ComicBook/BoosterGold, Guy Gardner, Fire, and, to a lesser degree, Ice all gained a fair deal of popularity thanks to their appearances in this series. DC ''would'' eventually capitalise on the popularity of Booster and Guy, with Booster getting a large role in ''52'' and an ongoing series and Guy going to ''Green Lantern Corps'', making them {{Breakout Character}}s.

Not about the JLI series itself


* AudienceAlienatingEra:
** Nearly every JLI character was either killed, turned evil, or otherwise made tragic during Creator/DanDiDio's administration of Creator/DCComics. This earned him a lot of fan hate.
** The final ''ComicBook/SuperBuddies'' series even made a TakeThat to ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'' by having a running gag in which Sue Dibny was believed to be pregnant. (She was killed in IC while apparently being pregnant) Although it wasn't an intentional TakeThat. ''I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League'' had been complete for a while but for whatever reason (most likely due to Ralph and Sue's roles in ComicBook/IdentityCrisis) held off on publishing it before finally releasing it as an arc in the JLA Classified series. Originally the pregnancy jokes were just a RunningGag but after Identity Crisis became HarsherInHindsight.

** After returning from a dangerous mission on Apocalypse, the team starts to split up to rest and recover. Fire says, "Hot bath?" Ice responds, "Hot bath." It really sounds like they were planning on bathing ''together''.

** Batman punching out Guy Gardner gets this reaction too. Some fans love it saying it's just plain funny and/or Gardner [[TakeThatScrappy absolutely deserved it]]; others hate it, either being fans of Gardner or saying they don't like seeing superheroes infighting.

** The series' frequent use of self-deprecating humor had a somewhat negative impact on the cast after the book was cancelled, with most of the characters branded as incompetent jokesters by their fellow superheroes and even other writers. Blue Beetle was probably hit the hardest by this, being regarded as an annoying buffoon right up until his violent death.
